    Back to the Commons and Sir Keir Starmer has called the loss of his party's motion to try and stop a no-deal Brexit "a disappointing, narrow defeat".

    But Labour's shadow Brexit secretary said: "This is just the start, not the end of our efforts to block no deal.

    "Labour stands ready to use whatever mechanism it can to protect jobs, the economy and communities from the disastrous consequences of a no deal Brexit.

    鈥淎ny Tory leadership candidate should know that Parliament will continue to fight against no deal.鈥

  7. Do Boris Johnson's claims about his record as London mayor add up?published at 17:41 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    Boris Johnson

    In making his pitch to succeed Theresa May as the next Conservative party leader, and prime minister, Boris Johnson drew heavily on his time as Mayor of London.

    He served two successive terms as mayor: 2008 to 2012 and 2012 to 2016 - but what did he achieve? Reality Check takes a look.

  8. Javid would welcome external investigation into Islamophobia in partypublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    On Tuesday, the Muslim Council of Britain reiterated its concerns about Islamophobia in the Tory Party.

    Asked what his views are on it, Mr Javid says: "I think there is a real problem with growing anti-Muslim hate crime and that is something, both as home secretary and previously as communities secretary, I take very seriously."

    He says that in some social organisations, including in political parties, there is a "particular issue".

    But he adds: "I wouldn't say from what I have seen and my own experience... that there is a real particular issue in the Conservative Party."

    However, he would be happy for an external investigation to take place because "we have nothing to hide."

  10. Would you employ a colleague who'd taken Class A drugs?published at 17:34 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    The home secretary is asked whether - especially given his current job in charge of law and order - he'd give a cabinet post to a colleague who's taken class A drugs if he became prime minister.

    That colleague, of course, is Michael Gove.

    Sajid Javid replies: "Michael is a good friend, he's a good man. He's big enough to defend himself, which he has done."

  11. Javid: I will embrace opportunities of Brexitpublished at 17:32 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    Sajid Javid voted Remain in the referendum, so he is asked how he can convince the Tory membership that he believes in Brexit.

    "Even when the vote was taking place, I said very clearly I was not worried about a Leave vote and would embrace the opportunities," he says.

    "I agreed we should have a referendum and we should let British people decide."

    He says Brexit has "already been delayed and delayed, so we have to leave by end of October".

    He adds: "But when I look ahead of what we can do as a county when we leave... I think of all the opportunities.

    "And I am in a very good position to help the country take advantage of them."

  12. Javid: Abortion is a settled issuepublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    On abortion, Mr Javid says he considers it a "settled issue" and says there was "no urge to bring it back up in Parliament".

    He adds: "I would not be pursuing that issue, it is not on my agenda at all."

    The home secretary was asked the question because Jeremy Hunt - one of his rivals - has been criticised for revealing that he would personally like to reduce the legal time limit for abortion from 24 weeks to 12.

  16. Javid: Some politicians exploit divisionspublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    Mr Javid is asked about Boris Johnson's response this morning when he was questioned about offensive language he used about Muslim women.

    Mr Johnson said he would "continue to speak directly".

    So, is Mr Javid worried the Tory Party will again become the "nasty party"?

    He says: "I am concerned about the rise of division in politics and it is not just in the UK, but globally.

    "Sadly, some politicians... think the way to win votes is to exploit division.

    "I am very worried about that. It is not something I want to see in this country."

  20. Javid hits out at Westminster elitepublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 12 June 2019

    Mr Javid says he wants to "bring energy to our party and our government".

    And he hits out at the Whitehall bubble.

    "The problem with much of the Wetsminster elite in all parties is they are insiders [who have] never had to fight to get a foot in the door," he says.

    "Life dealt them a good hand and they played it well. I can't blame them for that."

    But he says he got where he was because of "hard work, public services and family".

    He says he wants people outside of that "to feel if they have a go they will have every opportunity to succeed".
